Guttering in Woodley

Woodley's bungalows and wide-fronted post-war houses have long stretches of guttering, and the longer the run, the more joints and brackets there are to fail. Much of it is the original plastic guttering, now brittle in places, dripping at the joints and dropping between brackets. We are about 4 miles away in Wokingham and look after gutters across RG5.

The work usually begins with clearing the gutters and unblocking the outlets and downpipes. Leaking joints are then resealed and loose brackets refixed or added so the long runs hold their line. Where the guttering has failed along its length, new uPVC gutters and downpipes are fitted to a steady fall.

Rotten timber behind the gutter is common on homes of this age, and our Woodley fascias and soffits page explains how it is replaced. For leaks into the roof, see our Woodley roof repairs page, and the Roofers in Woodley page covers everything else.
